The song is about people growing older, and how their achievements are all that remain of their former glory, as their youth, and ability to take action is lost with time.
Ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh
[Verse 1]
Headhunters, headshrinkers
And long distance runners
Dust gathers on mementos
Dust gathers on proud moments
[Pre-Chorus]
Young voices grow thick and old
The cheers are distant wearing thin
Take it to the wall
[Chorus]
To be hung on the wall
To be viewed by all
A tribute in the grand hall
[Verse 2]
Yes, they're locked away
Or polished every day
For the maintenance man
In the back of a van
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh young voices grow thick and old
The cheers are distant wearing thin
Take it to the wall
[Chorus]
To be hung on the wall
To be viewed by all
A tribute in the grand hall
[Verse 3]
Bring yourselves out from your showcase parties
Hmm, no but you've been shut away too long
You've been shut away too long
[Pre-Chorus]
Frightened faces in the rain
Misplaced features lost down the drain
Oh, wash away and start again
[Chorus]
To be, to be hung on the wall
To be viewed by all
A tribute in the grand hall
Take it to the wall
